Hi- announcing the release of seq-1.9.6-beta, incorporating asynchronous pvPut()
support developed by Ben Franksen @ BESSY. It's been tested under EPICS 3.13.2,
and plans are to add it to seq v2.0.2 to produce v2.0.3.
Note that this is a 'beta' version until further notice.
Ben's notes:
pvPutAsync(<var>)
Perform put operation on <var> using ca_put_callback. Return immediately
after the put operation has been launched. Completion can be checked by
calling pvPutComplete(<var>) inside a when clause. Similar to pvGet with
option -a set.
pvPutComplete(<var>)
Check if a previous pvPutAsync on <var> has completed. Call this inside
a when clause to wait for completion. Similar to pvGetComplete with
option -a set.
pvPutWait(<var>)
Like pvPutAsync but return only after the callback has been received or
timed out. Timeout is after 10 seconds. Similar to pvGet with option -a
not set.

Please let me know of any problems.
thanks,
